In the mining and resources sector, we have extensive planning, construction and litigation experience. This allows us to offer flexible, innovative and cost effective solutions to our clients.

We understand the critical changing regulatory and legislative environment in which our mining and resources clients operate and, understanding the cost implications of a shut-down or dispute, means that our lawyers act pragmatically and commercially to resolve issues in a timely and commercially conscious manner.
